130 or 150 amp Alternator upgrade
Slapping a 130 amp alternator to the 1FZ has turned out to be very doable. The most difficult part is the adjustment bracket for the lower mount, it needs to be custom made. Not something I am keen on cutting out by hand multiple times...
A friend of mine recently purchased a 2D CAD CAM Plasma table, mass production of this bracket is suddenly easy... how many people want this? If enough people show interest, I'll crunch the numbers.
Read this post for more info http://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/74878-upgrading-alternator.html

I'll take one. So you are using the tundra Alt. and changing the pulley?

Yes, the pulley bolts on to the Tundra alternator. BUT, I do need to verify one thing. I have two FZJ80 stock alternators, one had a pulley that did not have the proper offset, and one did. I need to verify which pulley works, and what vehicles it came on.

Does a new belt need to be sourced, or can we use the stock belts?
I'm interested.

Stock length belts work fine. The belts are a little tough to get off when losening the alternator only, the larger case dosn't allow it to pivot in as close to block as the stocker. Worst cases, stock belts and maybe pull the waterpump pulley to replace the belts, or use a slightly longer belts.

New? No idea. There are 4 pages of used on www.car-part.com ranging from $45 - $200+. I paid $100 for mine, it came from a 3k mile wreck, looks new. Check the link above.

I'm in for one. I assume the 130 amp alternators are in all 2002-2006 V8 Tundras?
PS. If you need any particular measurements, I have a 2002 V8 Tundra in my driveway

With a high output alternator, will my power windows actually operate OK (especially in the winter and at idle)? 
If so, I'm in...

You ought to look at you factory grounds as not all cruisers have power window issues. I don't. Of course I have replaced all factory grounds with thicker ones.
